The climate consequences of the US-Russia global realignment
Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have expressed support for better ties between the US and Russia. In some ways, the countries have different interests. Trump would like to see lower energy prices to boost the US economy, while Putin needs higher prices to support his war effort. However, both Trump and Putin have a mutual interest in growing the oil and gas sector and likely will join forces to undermine progress at future internationa…
Russia in a changing climate
Climate change will shape the future of Russia, and vice versa, regardless of who rules in the Kremlin. The world's largest country is warming faster than Earth as a whole, occupies more than half the Arctic Ocean coastline, and is waging a carbon‐intensive war while increasingly isolated from the international community and its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Officially, the Russian government argues that, as a major exporter of hydr…
Pandemic Politics in Eurasia
The sudden onset of COVID-19 has challenged many social scientists to proceed without a robust theoretical and empirical foundation upon which to build. Addressing this challenge, particularly as it pertains to Eurasia, our multinational group of scholars draws on past and ongoing research to suggest a roadmap for a new pandemic politics research subfield. Key research questions include not only how states are responding to the new coronavirus, b…
Animal remains from Visegrád-Lower Castle from the 16–17 th century
This paper presents the initial results of faunal analysis conducted on material from the Visegrád-Lower Castle site. This collection is a 16–17th century deposit from the town of Visegrád, located on the Danube and within the hotly contested border of the Hapsburg and Ottoman Empires. It seeks to address the cultural and political context of the site in terms of Ottoman military expansion and social history and Pre-Ottoman Hungarian history. The…
The Cost of Illness, Disability, and Premature Mortality to Russia's Economy
An American specialist on Russia's health and demographic situation calculates the economic burden of morbidity, disability, and premature death on the country's economy in 2003, applying a cost-of-illness model commonly used in Western settings. The paper disaggregates direct costs (spending specifically on health care) and indirect costs (productivity lost due to illness and death, measured in terms of lost wages), and distinguishes between cur…
The Myth of the Strong Soviet State
Studies of state‐society relations continue to assume that the Soviet Union was the quintessential “strong” state, able to dominate a weak society at every stage of the policy process. Evidence gleaned from the former Soviet defense industry, however, reveals that the Soviet state, at least since the Brezhnev era, had difficulty implementing some of its highest priority objectives. While the Soviet state may have possessed considerable despotic p…
Health care reform in Russia
Russia’s Torn Safety Nets
Russia's attempt to replace the failed Soviet system and its command economy with a capitalist, democratic society has produced a health and social welfare crisis, at considerable human cost. Russia s
Unfulfilled Hopes
One of the Soviet Union's most notable accomplishments was the development of its system of health care. Soviet citizens enjoyed universal access to free medical care, through either the workplace or neighborhood clinics, with an emphasis on preventive health maintenance. Although the quality of secondary and tertiary care was not up to Western standards, and access to some specialists and treatments frequently required patients to contribute gif…

Regional variation in Russian medical insurance
Obligatory medical insurance in Russia
Balancing the state and the market
To revitalise their health services, governments in the former socialist states of Central and Eastern Europe are experimenting with a new wonder drug called market mechanisms. This is rather like the doctor who gives penicillin to a patient who has a known allergy to it but will die without it. It is necessary to understand the associated dangers so that appropriate measures may be taken to prevent the treatment from killing the patient.l
From assurance to insurance in Russian health care
OBJECTIVES: Given the declining health status of the Russian population and the negative social impact of ongoing economic reforms, it is important to understand the nature and scope of Russia's innovations in health care financing. METHODS: Data on Russian health care and its financing were gathered from Russian newspapers and journals. US government agency reports, recent press accounts, and the authors' observations and interviews in Russia. R…
